GROUND FLOOR PLAN - SPORTS NUTRITIONIST SPACE - 1:300 GROUND FLOOR PERSPECTIVE

THESE PLANS & PERSPECTIVES VISUALLY DISPLAY THE OVERALL PROPOSAL AND ITS REACH, AS SHOWN BELOW I HAVE AFFECT-ED ONLY 4 FLOORS OF THE BUILDING, THE REST OF WHICH HAVE ARE LEFT WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THE ADAPTABLE FABRIC TENSILE FORM INSTALLED.

BASEMENT PLAN - CYCLIST SPACE - 1:300 BASEMENT PERSPECTIVE

SUB-BASEMENT PLAN - FUNCTION SPACE - 1:300 SUB-BASEMENT PERSPECTIVE

FLOORS 1 TO 6 - VOID SPACE - 1:500

THIS PERSPECTIVE SHOWS THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE ROOF INTERVENTION, SHOWING THE INHABITATION OF THE CENTRAL ALLOTMENT. USERS INTERACT WITH THE URBAN GROWBAG MODULES AND USE THE AREA AS A BREAKOUT SPACE.

THE GROUND FLOOR IS USED AS A SPACE FOR THE SPORTS NUTRITIONIST’S, COMING WITH THE TRADE, THE MAIN AREAS NEEDED FOR THIS USER ARE; EXCERSIZE, COMMUNAL KITCHEN, CONSULTATION AND REST AREAS. THIS PERSPECTIVE IS TAKEN FROM THE CENTRAL FORM, WHERE THE COMMUNAL KITCHEN IS LOCATED.

THE BASEMENT FLOOR IS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE CYCLISTS. THE AREAS INCLUDED ON THIS FLOOR ARE; ADDITIONAL EXCERSIZE, PROTEIN SHAKE BAR, REST AREAS, COMMUNAL BATHROOM/SHOWER ROOM, AND MER-CHANDISING AREAS. THE SPACE WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH THE GROUND FLOOR ABOVE IN THE WAY THAT NUTRITION AND EXCERSIZE COME HAND IN HAND.

THE SUB-BASEMENT FLOOR’S FOCAL POINT IS THE MODULAR ADAPTABLE STAGE WHICH FOLDS OUT WHEN THE STACKED ‘PLATES’ ARE MOVED OUT AND POSITIONED PARALLEL WITH EACHOTHER. THE SPACE AS A WHOLE IS USED FOR STORAGE DURING THE DAY WITH THE USE OF A HANGING ARRANGEMENT (FOR BICYCLES) AND AS A FUNCTION SPACE DURING THE EVENING (LIVE MUSIC,ENTERTAINMENT AND BAR/LOUNGE).

THESE PLANS SHOW THE OTHER FLOORS WHICH I HAVENT DEVELOPED, ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSAL RUNS OVER ALL FLOORS, SO THESE SHOW THE USABLE SPACE AND THE ‘VOID’ SPACE IN THE CENTER OF EACH FLOOR.

THE CORE IN TERMS OF USABILITY AND FUNCTION IN THIS PROJECT IS THIS DESIGN ELEMENT, THE ADAPTABLE ‘MODULE’. ON THE FIRST SITE VISIT, THE BUILDING WAS IN A STRIPPED STATE AND HAD AN INDUSTRIAL FEEL. WITH TEMPORARY LIGHTING AND BARRIERS TAKING OVER THE SPACE I SET OUT TO CREATE SOMETHING AS EASY TO ADAPT AS THIS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DESIGN OF AN ADAPTABLE ‘MODULE’ WHICH COMES IN A FEW VARIATIONS, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF WHICH BEING THE ‘URBAN GROWBAG’ MODULE AND THE ‘WORKBENCH’ MODULE.

ANOTHER MAIN FOCAL POINT OF THE PROPOSAL IS THE URBAN ALLOTMENT LOCATED ON THE ROOF LEVEL OF THE BUILDING. CREATING A BREAKOUT SPACE WHEREBY THE USERS AND GENERAL PUBLIC CAN USE TO PUT SOMETHING BACK INTO THE BUILDING AND ALSO BE PROCREATIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS PROJECT, AS THE AIM IS TO CREATE A COMMUNITY WITHIN THE SPACE AND AS A RESULT, A CREATIVE HUB.

SECTION AA - OVERALL PROPOSAL - 1:200

I HAVE CREATED A RECREATIONAL FACILITY WHICH ENCOURAGES HEALTHY LIVING AND HEALTHY EATING. WITH CYCLING BEING ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND UTILISED METHODS OF TRANSPORT IN CENTRAL LONDON. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON CYCLISTS AND SPORTS/FITNESS FANATICS ALIKE. WITH AREAS WITHIN THE BUILDING OFFERING SPORTS NUTRITIONISTS SPACE TO WORK AND PRACTICE (NUTRITIONISTS BEING PEOPLE WHO FACE A VAST SHORTAGE OF JOBS WITHIN LONDON COMPARED TO THE AMOUNT OF TRAINED AND QUALIFIED NUTRITIONISTS WITHIN THE CITY) THE TWO COMMUNITIES WORK AND TRAIN SIDE BY SIDE IN A CROSS PRO-GRAMMED ATMOSPHERE.THE FACILITY IS HOME TO A LARGE CROSSOVER SPACE WHICH CONNECTS THE TWO COMMUNITIES BY THE USE OF A LARGE RECREA-TIONAL ‘URBAN ALOTMENT’ THIS CONTAINS BESPOKE ‘URBAN GROWBAGS’ WHICH HAVE BEEN ENCASED IN THE BUILDINGS UNIVERSAL ‘MODULE’ KIT. THE ‘MODULE’ KIT IS A SCHEME FOR ADAPTABLE/MOVEABLE RECTANGULAR MODULES WHICH CAN HOUSE VARIOUS EQUIPMENT/FUNCTIONS WHICH BENEFIT AND ARE UTILISED BY THE COMMUNITES IN THE VARIOUS PROGRAMMED AREAS WITHIN THE BUILDING. THE ‘URBAN GROWBAGS’ ARE USED TO GROW INGREDIENTS AND HERBS USED FOR SUPPLEMENTS AND FOR THE COMMUNAL KITCHEN & PROTEIN SHAKE BAR, THIS SPACE IS ACCESSIBLE BY THE TWO COMMUNITIES AND OUTSIDE USERS TO CREATE A SOCIAL BREAKOUT SPACE. FINALLY ON THE SUB-BASEMENT LEVEL OF THE BUILDING THE HUB HOUSES A FUNCTION SPACE WHICH IS USED FOR BESPOKE BICYCLE STORAGE DURING THE DAY AND IN THE EVENING IS HOME TO LIVE MUSIC AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT WITH A FOLD OUT STAGE, PORTABLE BARS AND SIT-DOWN AREAS. WITH THE COMBINATION OF WORKING/TRAINING AREAS AND BREAKOUT SPACES & LIVE ENTERTAINMENT MY CREATIVE HUB AIMS TO CREATE A HEALTH ENVIRONMENT FOR CENTRAL LONDON.

THE SITE 36 QUEEN STREET LIES WITHIN CENTRAL LONDON, AN AREA WHICH HAS A STRONG AND COLOURFUL PAST. I DECIDED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT LOOK AT THIS BUILDING BY ANALYSING ITS IMMEDIATE CONTEXT AND IDENTIFYING KEY ‘USERS’. THE FIRST THING THAT I NOTICED WAS THE VAST AMOUNT OF CYCLISTS IN COMPARISON WITH THE OTHER METHODS OF TRANSPORT USED IN CENTRAL LONDON, THIS IMMEDIATELY SECURED CYCLISTS AS ONE OF MY USERS, AND MY SECOND CHOSEN USER CAME HAND IN HAND, SPORTS NUTRITIONISTS. FROM RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NUTRITIONISTS ACTUALLY STRUGGLE WHEN IT COMES TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT, AND WITHIN THE AREA THERE IS ONLY ONE NOTABLE NUTRITIONIST PRACTICE.
